Good deal, congrats!
YES.
I bet they don't even care since they sold their soul to drive a soul-less car. Also I believe it's a mandate they must drive under the speed limit.
That's all you get in your car? is that the Probe?
I got 16.2 mpg on my last tank of diesel in the F-250. And that included some driving in 4 wheel drive, that is 90% highway. And I have an average of 15.1 mpg over the life of the truck so far.
I really want to go look at the new dodge Eco diesels cause that truck provides all the towing/hauling ability I need and is rated for mid 20s on the highway from a 1500. Down side is none of the local dealers can keep them on the lot. Def want to check them out as that's likely the truck I'd want in a couple years when it's time to replace this truck
I'd be very mindful of EPA claims these days especially from American manufacturers. It used to be you could easily expect to get a few mpg better than the sticker but nowadays they're really stretching the definitions of the EPA tests. Kia and Ford have already been hit with fines and lawsuits because of this. You're better off comparing numbers relatively and not on absolute bases. This is harder with older vehicles because the tests have changed.
Yep.. While I haven't had a car payment in quite awhile, I now have a bike payment. And the bike gets under 30mpg no matter how I drive it. lulz. Justification - FUUUUUNNN. haha!
Those look nice.
I'm looking forward to the '17 CX-9 with the supposed skyactiv 2.5 turbo as a possible replacement for the Escape in a couple years. Amber mentioned today how nice it would be to have a bigger vehicle.

Looking at the new Aluminum F-150 No Rust Factor), we'll see what the future holds!
I wish I could pick up a crew cab 15 F150, but they no longer come in manual transmission, which makes me sad.
I figured they'd still have a steel frame and underpinnings? That's the other thing that bothers me about the Flex (the first being fuel economy) - the thing has more surface rust on the exhaust and suspension components than my wife's '10 Jetta that's going on its fifth Winter.

It'll have a fully boxed high-strength steel frame with an additional crossmember.
That's what I thought. So the body won't rust (paint will chip at the slighted impact, though) but everything else underneath will just as normal.
I'm still not quite sure what the point of it is though.
Nice looking car, I like it more than the CX-5.
Kinda more like AWD Mazda 2, since its based off of that platform. It has a torsion beam axle, unlike the 3. The size seems about Mazda 3 size but that's just from looking at it. The CX-5 I believe is based off the Mazda 3 platform. I like the way the rear end looks on the cx3 compared to the cx5 and also that it is smaller.

Um, yes? I don't know about paint chipping off, though.
so Kudos on Kodos!
meh on the cx-3 though. I don't get the tiny suv market, reminds me of Clarkson doing the BMW X6 segment. It's a lot of nice that can't do much of anything well.
